  1. I highly enjoyed the story of Murder in the Abbey. It was well written and the dialogue is pretty good and the graphic blending of cel-shading, 2D and 3D graphics really make this title stand out from the rest of the crowd.
  2. We have immediately loved The Abbey for it's cartoonish look, that contrasts with the dark theme of the game.
  3. Dark middle-ages feel, excellent dialogues and stylish graphics would not put The Abbey above average adventure games. But The Name of the Rose-inspired story makes this experience remarkable. [Oct 2008]

    The back of the box promises 40 hours of gameplay. You do not want 40 hours of gameplay here.

    The best that Alcachofa soft could have done for the memory of Paco Menendez. A great game made in Spain.

    A quiet game, paused, which deserves to be enjoyed with time.

    It's the best graphic adventure in the last years. One "old-style" adventure. It deserves a try.

    Graphics are incredible in this game, its like watching TV. Voice acting is very good as well. For 19.99 you can't go wrong with this adventure game. Expand
